CREAM-DIFFER.

Application filed March 30,

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known'that I, 2ARTHUR C. BUTTS, Jr., a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing' in New York city, State of New York, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Crea1n-Dippers, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates generally to creamV clippers and, moreparticularly to one which is especially adapted for use in thepreparation of modified milk commonly employed inr feeding infants, andthe object of the invention is to provide an exceedingly simple andhighly efficientl device by means of which the'exact quantity of theproper grade of ingredients can be yquickly. and easily removed.

With these objects in View, my invention consists in the novel featuresof construction, hereinafter fully described and pointed out in theclaims. K

In the drawing forming a part of this specitication:-Figure 1 is a sideelevation of the device constructed in accordance with my invention.Fig. 2 is a similar View showing the device inverted-and the-upper endinserted in the neck of a nursing bottle.

In carrying out my invention I employ a glass tube A which may beof anysuitable size and which has a bulb B formed upon the lower end thereof,the extreme lower end of said bulb being open as shown at B', and

drawn' enters the bulb. This bulb is preferably made to contain oneounce and the exterior thereof has graduations cut thereon, indicatingdefinite fractional parts of an ounce, and these graduation marks B2 arey made very prominent so that they may be seen through the milk orcrea-m, thereby'enabling the operator to see when the bulb has beenlowered to the proper extent. A bulb C is also formed "upon the upperend of the tube A, said bulb" being of peculiar formathan at the top andterminates in a nipple C having an opening C2 in the end' thereof, andat the lower end of this nipple is the i annular swell or enlargment C".A bulbi constructed as herein shown and described forms an exceedinglyconvenient handle for Specification of Letters Patent.

' holding ai@ deviwbiie aiebuib is being flowered into the cream `Iormilk,I and furthermore, when it is desired to discharge the measured.quantity of cream or milk into the nursing bottle, the nipple C can beinserted in the mouth of avnursing bottle, and the measured contentsquickly and easily poured into said nursingbottlewithout loss.

The operation of my invention will be obvious to every one, as it iswell known that if the lower bulb is lowered into a-'bottle or othervesselcontaining milk or cream the said'mil'k or cream will pass up into.the said bulb and then by closing the opening CL themilk or cream canbe raised when the bulb is raised and the measured contentscan be thentransferred into the nursing bot- 'tle or other receptacle. ,The bulb Bis graduated so that when it is desired to remove a definite quantity ofmilk, cream or other liquid, the bulb is lowered until the top of theliquid reaches the proper graduation, and then by closing the upperopening, the measured quantity can be removed.

It will thus be seen that I provide an ein. ceedngly cheap and simpleandhighly eHicient construction of dipper capable of carrying out all ofthe objects hereinbefore referred to. p

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new-and desireto secure by Letters Patent is A 1. A. cream dipper comprising a tubehaving a bulb at its upper end, the upper end of said bulb terminatingin a nipple, 'a bulb formed upon the lower end of the tube open- ARTHURciaiuisoii iuir'is, iii.
